Dma-kmalloc will be created as long as CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled.
However, it will fail if DMA zone has no managed pages. The failure
can be seen in kdump kernel of x86_64 as below:

The above failure happened when calling kmalloc() to allocate buffer with
GFP_DMA. It requests to allocate slab page from DMA zone while no managed
pages in there.
  sr_probe()
  --> get_capabilities()
      --> buffer = kmalloc(512, GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA);

The DMA zone should be checked if it has managed pages, then try to create
dma-kmalloc.
